SubbyQuote FAQ

Everything you need to know before quoting smarter.

Answers for painters, plasterers, flooring contractors, builders and other trade businesses ready to quote smarter.

Instead of automatically travelling to every potential job just to take measurements, you can send your customer a secure SubbyQuote measurement link. The customer opens the link on their smartphone and SubbyQuote guides them through measuring their rooms step by step. Once completed, the measurements are sent back to your SubbyQuote dashboard for you to review.

No. The ideal SubbyQuote experience allows customers to open their secure measurement link directly on their compatible smartphone without downloading the full trade management app. This keeps the process quick and simple for your customer.

SubbyQuote is designed for modern compatible smartphones with the sensors and browser capabilities required by the measuring technology. Device compatibility can vary, so SubbyQuote should automatically check the customer's phone before they begin measuring and tell them if their device is supported.

The SubbyQuote Measure tool guides customers through each measurement. For example, when measuring the width of a wall, the customer is instructed to move from one side to the other while keeping their phone straight. The interface provides visual guidance, including measurement lines and alignment feedback, to help them complete the measurement correctly.

SubbyQuote's measuring interface is designed to provide alignment guidance while the customer measures. A correct measurement path can be shown in green, while an incorrect angle can trigger a warning telling the customer to straighten their movement before continuing.

Depending on the job and measurement workflow you create, SubbyQuote can collect information such as: wall width · wall height · ceiling dimensions · doors · windows · room dimensions · multiple rooms · customer photos. Measurements can then be organised by room so they're easy for you to review.

Yes. Customers can identify rooms individually — for example Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom 1 or Hallway — making larger properties much easier to understand when you receive the measurements.

No. Customer measurements should help you assess and quote suitable jobs remotely, but you remain in control. For work where measurements, condition or complexity need professional verification, you can still arrange a site visit before starting work or issuing a final price. SubbyQuote isn't designed to replace professional judgement.
